    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Europe Equity UCITS ETF - USD Hedged is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary reasons for this classification are: 1. The ETF uses physical replication to track its index, investing directly in the underlying securities rather than relying on synthetic replication or derivatives for its core strategy. 2. While the ETF employs forward foreign exchange contracts for currency hedging, this is done for efficient portfolio management and risk mitigation rather than for leverage or speculative purposes. The KIID explicitly states that these derivatives are used to neutralize currency exposure, which is a permitted use under MiFID II without triggering complexity. 3. The investment strategy is straightforward, tracking a fundamentally weighted index of dividend-paying Eurozone companies with significant global revenue exposure. The index methodology, while sophisticated in its screening process, is clearly explained and does not introduce complexity that would be difficult for retail investors to understand. 4. The risk profile, as indicated by the SRRI of 6, is primarily driven by the equity exposure and currency hedging, both of which are standard risks associated with equity ETFs and do not introduce additional complexity. 5. The ETF is UCITS-compliant, which imposes strict regulatory requirements on transparency, liquidity, and risk management, further supporting its classification as non-complex. 6. The KIID and factsheet provide clear and comprehensive information about the ETF's strategy, risks, and costs, ensuring that investors have adequate information to make informed decisions. While the ETF does use derivatives for currency hedging, this is a common practice in hedged share classes of ETFs and is explicitly permitted under MiFID II for efficient portfolio management without classifying the product as complex. The derivatives are not used for leverage or to create a non-linear payoff structure, and the counterparty risks are clearly disclosed and managed within UCITS limits.",
